EDI
EDI (electronic data interchange) is the transfer of data between different companies using networks, such as VANs (value-added networks) or the Internet. EDI is becoming increasingly important as an easy mechanism for companies to buy, sell, and trade information.
When a large company requests that its suppliers use electronic data interchange for greater efficiency, small and mid-sized companies need a technology expert to assist their move to a paperless way of doing business. HighTower offers EDI packages that can assist you in this move and affect a smooth transition to the growing technology world for both you and your partners. HighTower’s EDI analyst reviews your system based on trading partners’ needs, and then determines what is needed to implement the solution. Then our EDI analyst provides implementation, training, and testing of the solution with your trading partners and VAN.
Our in-house analyst also creates EDI mappings, building a bridge between the EDI translator and your
Sage MAS 90 ERP or
Sage MAS 200 ERP accounting system. HighTower provides mappings for an array of common ANSI (American National Standards Institute) recommended documents as well as EDIFACT (electronic data interchange for administration, commerce, and transport) standards.
In addition, HighTower provides ongoing support for your EDI solution, including upgrades to mappings requested by your EDI trading partners.
